A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Eighteen-year-old Edgar Donahoe lets off steam by drinking beer and popping hallucinogens with his best friend and boon companion Pat Fillmore. Big, brawling Pat shares Edgar's fondness for drink, drugs and trouble. And trouble is what they get one fateful night when they persuade gentle Beverley, a nurse at the old people's home, to try LSD for the first time... Set in 1970's California, God Clobbers Us All is a wickedly funny coming-of-age story about a young dreamer who loses himself in big waves and escapades. At the same time it is a thoughtful meditation on the different ways in which people live and die; a book that asks why some lives are full of grand gestures while others are hardly lived at all.

Revue de presse :

'Calmer than Bukowski, less portentous than Kerouac, more hopeful than West' SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE--' Poe Ballantine reminds us that in a country full of identical strip malls and chain restaurants there's still room for adventure. He finds the humour in situations most would find unbearable and flourishes like a modern-day Kerouac... A book to cherish and pass on to friends' MARK POIRIER AUTHOR OF GOATS --*
